How To Tweet From CLI On Windows 10 w. Node.js

Always working from PowerShell, CMD, Git Bash, or Git Shell? Ever want to tweet from the command line while your pushing code to your Github repository? I was interested in doing this on my laptop, making it easy to tweet on the go while I’m coding away at a coffee shop.
